Before and after care waxing instructions:

  • Please allow 2 or more weeks of hair growth before your visit.

  • Arrive at your appointment freshly showered.

  • Do not apply self-tanner, moisturizer, or any abrasive body or facial scrubs.

  • We recommend wearing loose-fitting clothes to your appointment, especially for services in the bikini area.

  • Try to limit caffeine intake as it can stimulate the nervous system.

  • Avoid taking pain medications, like Advil or Tylenol, as it can lead to adverse reactions including, but not limited to, thinning of the skin,
    dehydration, and bruising.

  • For services in the bikini area, attempt to schedule your appointment within the first 2 weeks after your cycle has ended (this is the time that
    you are less sensitive.) However, you can receive a service during your cycle, if you can wear a tampon; just anticipate additional sensitivity.

  • Certain products and medications can prevent us from providing hair removal services. These products include, but are not limited to: Accutane, Retin-A, Glycolic Acid, Alpha Hydroxyl Acid, Taxorac Avage, Differin, Strivectin, Renova, Proactiv, Avita, Benzoyl Peroxide and Salicylic Acid.

FIRST 24 – 48 HOURS AFTER WAXING :
